Hey all, I've joined your group because I'm in the market finally for a new or used AC/DC tig welder to add to my fabrication capabilities for the purpose of restoring vintage motorcycles and custom vintage motocross racers. My small shop is outfitted fairly well with a mill and lathe and several other essential tools but I need a tig welder and am finally going to buy one and so I hope to learn here how to be a better welder as well as gather some information on which welder to buy. I've also joined the Longevity forum as these two brands are my main considerations for purchase and while it seems the vast majority of members of both forums are clearly partial to their specific brand, I'll want to know why so I can perhaps use the same criteria for making my purchase decision. So thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide me in deciding which brand and model to buy and for imparting any wisdom you can on me that will help me become a decent welder. Mike
